@rvalyi,

Thanks for the info, it's come in very handy for us along with the product_customer_code_sale module along with a couple of other Vauxoo modules. Have you heard of any modules that extend this module to allow for storing customer's barcodes (EAN13 and otherwise) in a similar manner?

I am working with a manufacturing company that often has to store UPC-A, EAN13, and a few others in a similar manner to how product_customer_code handles storage of customer's SKU's/Product Codes.

If there's nothing out there already I may try my hand at extending product_customer_code_sale to add at least the EAN13 functionality, however if something already exists I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

I confirm the Vauxoo product_customer_code is useful. We are using it successfully in a Brazilian manufacturing company. In fact I helped to port it to the OCA with the help of Vauxoo at this time. So I think the only repo you need to check now is:

There is a useful module from Vauxoo that does what you have described but in the context of storing customer product codes and allowing searching by and adding by customer code in the sale order here:

For my business, sometimes it would be much more convenient to enter a purchase order using the supplier product code.

Take this use case scenario:

I visit the shop of a supplier;

I pick and choose all items I want to buy, some new, some already on my product list;

I arrive back to my company with the supplier invoice listing: product code, product description and unit price;

I want to type the supplier invoice directly into Odoo, without having to first map the supplier product codes to my own internal product reference code (or its description);

For order lines that cannot be added from supplier code I know I need to first add the product to the Odoo product catalog.

The problem is that mapping a supplier product code to internal product ref used on Odoo is not easy because Odoo has no search facility for supplier product code (or am I missing something?). But even if it had such functionality, simply entering the supplier product code following the supplier invoice would be much easier.
